6. Getting started

• Pull the protective foil off the display.

• Remove the battery insulation strip.

• The clock will scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol

flashes on the LCD. When the signal is received successfully after

3-5 minutes, the radio-controlled time and the DCF symbol

appear permanently.

•

The clock automatically receives every day at 2:00 and 3:00 in the

morning a radio signal. If the reception fails, the symbol disappears

and scanning stops and will be repeated at 4.00 am and 5.00 am.

• Manual initialization can be helpful. Press and hold WAVE but-

ton. If the reception fails (10 minutes), the symbol disappears

and scanning stops and will be repeated in the next hour.

• Press and hold WAVE button, to stop the initialization.

• In case the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due

to disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set

manually. The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock.

(see: Setting of the clock and calendar).

• The manually set time will be overwritten by the DCF time when

the signal is received successfully.



Important information on product safety!

• Do not place your product near extreme temperatures, vibra-

tions or shocks.

6.1 Radio-controlled time reception

The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic

clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braun-

schweig. It has a time deviation of less than one second in one mil-

lion years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen

near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a

transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Changeover from

summer time or winter time is automatic. In Daylight Saving Time

“DST” is shown on the LCD. The quality of the reception depends

mainly on the geographic location. Normally there should be no

reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.

Please take note of the following:

• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like com-

puter monitors or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 metres.

• Inside ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the

received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please

place the unit close to a window to improve the reception.

• During nighttime, the atmospheric interference is usually less

severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily recep-

tion is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.

• After the reception of the radio-controlled time you can set the

alarm time (see: Setting of the alarm time).
